dotnet-vs

The dotnet-vs tool uses dotnet-config to persist command aliases, just like GIT aliases, that run Visual Studio (or its installer) with various switches.

Any of the commands supported by the vs global tool can be saved as an alias by simply appending --save [alias] at the end of the command line arguments. Next time you need to execute the same command, you can just use vs [alias] instead.

Example:

• Run Visual Studio Community edition's experimental instance, with activity logging enabled, save as test

  vs run com exp /log --save=test

  From that point on, the same command can be run simply with:

  vs test

Sample configuration:

[vs "alias"]
    comexp = run|community|exp
    preexp = run|preview|exp
    test = run|com|exp|/log
